Paul Newman: Coors Connoisseur

My friend Stewart Stern who I wrote about last week, was life-long friends with Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward. And in 1977 when I was working for a film producer in Los Angeles, Paul was expected in the office for a meeting. At the time, he was a well-know connoisseur of Coors Beer, so my employer made sure that a six-pack of Coors was chilling in the refrigerator.

After the meeting was over, I absconded with Paul's empty Coors can and sent it to my aunt in Seattle who, like so many women in America at the time, famously adored Paul Newman. My aunt put this treasured keepsake in a safety deposit box. I saw my aunt recently, and discovered that the Coors can has since migrated from the safety deposit box to a small Newman shrine in her apartment. I always wondered if Paul knew how much people appreciated his talent, his social activism and his famous blue eyes.
